Seeing Mrs. Chen's anger boiling over, Gu Qingyuan added, "It's because of this incident that my daughter-in-law didn't dare to go out and pawn the gesture. If anyone else finds out about it, the reputation of our Duke's palace will not be preserved."

Mrs. Chen nodded and said seriously: "You are right, but these 200 taels are indeed a bit too much. Yuan'er, you are talking about the inkstone, why don't you want it?"

"How can that be done?" Gu Qingyuan sighed and shook his head helplessly: "The inkstone was ordered in the name of our Duke's Mansion. If we don't want it, wouldn't it mean that our Duke's Mansion has no money?"

When Ms. Chen heard this, she said with a frightened look on her face: "You... you are right. It seems that this inkstone is indispensable. Yuan'er, don't worry. I will find a solution for you with these 200 taels." "

"Really?" Gu Qingyuan stood up and looked at Mrs. Chen with a grateful face: "Mother, you... you are so kind!"

"Hey, what a big deal, I'll ask Granny Zhang to send you some money later," Mrs. Chen said.

Gu Qingyuan nodded, stood up and left.

When he was far away from the courtyard, Suihan asked, "Madam, what's the inkstone? Why don't you know about it?"

"There's no such thing as an inkstone. I just made it up. Didn't you see how Chen wanted me to bleed? If I don't make something up, I'm really afraid I won't be able to handle it."

Sui Han suddenly understood and nodded: "I see, madam, if the old lady really sends the money, but we can't get out the ink stone, this..."

"200 taels of silver is enough to buy an inkstone." Gu Qingyuan said.

When Suihan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Madam, do you mean to ask the old lady to spend money to buy an inkstone as a gift to the Duke?"

"What else? The Duke of Guo is her husband. If she doesn't send it to you, do you expect me to send it to you?" Gu Qingyuan said and quickened her pace. She hadn't finished reading the drawings yet, so she had to hurry up and read them.

At the same time, Mrs. Chen was in trouble for the two hundred silver.

Mrs. Zhang saw this and said helplessly: "Old madam, tell me, why do you nod so quickly?"

"Otherwise?" Mrs. Chen sighed and said helplessly, "Didn't you listen to what she said? If this matter is not resolved, the reputation of our Duke's Mansion will be ruined."

"But old lady, that's 200 taels! If you give it to us, how can we survive?" Mrs. Zhang sighed.

"How many are there in Chuntao? When we welcomed her, didn't I give her 300 taels? Let's take them back together." Mrs. Chen paused and continued: "She is a concubine, and she can live a poorer life. Be poorer, if we live in poverty, it will be a joke outside."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and took people to Chuntao's side.

At that time, Chuntao was still angry because of Gu Qingyuan's favoritism, and when she came back just now, she became even more angry when she saw the prince hugging Jiao Rui.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang came with someone.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang coming, Chuntao stood up and frowned: "What are you doing here?"

"Where was the three hundred pieces of silver the old lady gave you last time?" Mrs. Zhang asked.

When Chuntao heard this, she frowned subconsciously.

She looked at Granny Zhang warily and asked, "Why are you asking this? That's the money the old lady gave me." "Of course I know that the old lady gave it to you, but now, the old lady has other uses. I need to take it back." Granny Zhang explained.

"What did you say?" Chuntao looked at Granny Zhang in astonishment: "That's the money that the old lady gave me for the prince's entrance. This...how can I get it back?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The old lady gave it to you because she thinks highly of you. Now that the old lady is of use, you should take out the money quickly!" Mrs. Zhang urged impatiently.

"The old lady is useful, so I have to give her the money? Aren't you afraid that this matter will be spread out and be embarrassed?" Chuntao frowned, with a look of reluctance.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she laughed directly: "The Duke's Mansion is naturally afraid of being embarrassed, but if this matter spreads out, we can say that our Duke's Mansion does not have an aunt named Chuntao at all. Anyway, you are my husband People welcome people in, and people outside don’t even know.”

"You..." Chuntao gritted her teeth. She had already reached this point. She believed that if she didn't take out the money, she would end badly.

In desperation, Chuntao had to take out the silver, but it was only two hundred.

Mrs. Zhang frowned and asked, "Why are there only 200 taels left?"

"I spent the remaining 100 taels." Chuntao said expressionlessly.

"It's spent!" Mrs. Zhang's voice suddenly rose: "That's 100 taels! You just spent it as you say?"

"Yes, when the old lady gave it to me, she told me to use the silver to buy jewelry or something. I went to buy jewelry. Is there any problem?" Chuntao asked.

Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly, took the silver and left.

Chuntao looked at Mrs. Zhang's back and gritted her teeth. It seemed that Ms. Chen didn't take her threat seriously at all!

With this thought in mind, Chuntao bent down and pulled out a box from under the bed. She took out a copied prescription from the box, then closed the box and stuffed it back under the bed.

After doing all this, she stood up and went to Chen's yard.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang returned with the money, Chuntao followed her. As soon as she entered the door, she slapped the prescription on the table and said with a half-smile: "Old lady, let's take a look. Does this prescription look familiar? "

Mrs. Zhang picked up the prescription and looked at it. Her face suddenly changed color: "How could you have such a prescription!"

"How could I have it? When you asked me to prepare medicine for that lady, I made a copy of it." Chuntao paused and said with a bad smile: "Tell me, if the master knew about this, what would he do? how?"

After a brief silence, Ms. Zhang tore the prescription into pieces. Finally, she looked at Chuntao with a proud look on her face: "The prescription is gone, what are you going to say?"

"Old Madam, it's really interesting. Of course I copied such important physical evidence quite a bit, and the original is being placed in a very safe place by me at this time. No one can find it except me. Old Madam, don't struggle. Well, if you continue to go back on your word, I can't stand you."

Chuntao said, stood up, looked at the 200 taels in the tray, and sneered: "I can't stand the 200 taels. I want the two shops in the east of the city. You'd better choose a good and auspicious day to have the house deeds handed over to you." Send me the land deed, otherwise you should think carefully about how you want to explain it to the master!"

After saying that, Chuntao walked away.

Ms. Chen's face was filled with defeat, and Mrs. Zhang looked at the person in front of her with a troubled face: "Old madam, those shops in the east of the city all belong to madam!" (End of Chapter)
